Our Mission

The mission of the Independent Producers Association (IPA) has always been to support the independent producers that put their heart and soul (and a lot of their own money) into making television that they actually believe in.  And as we’re seeing right now during COVID-19, public television is invaluable to our viewers and to the public, providing educational and informational AND entertaining programming during a difficult time for our country and the world.

With the IPA, we want to create a community so that we can connect and bounce ideas, offer instruction and guidance, and also help create a cohort so that communicating and working with stations, presenters, programmers, and distribution arms can be streamlined.  We want to continue that mission, so as we are all working from home, not in production, now is a time to build up that coalition, build up our continued education in this public television process, and reconnect with one another.

As of now, everything will be entirely FREE!  Free community building, free webinars, free communication.  We just want to start to build a community and a channel of information that we believe will not only empower us, the independent producers, but everyone involved in this public television process.

If you want to become a member of this community, please sign up for our weekly newsletter - all are welcome!
